Jetpack Compose media player implementation techniques for desktop development

About

This repository includes various media player implementation methods that can be useful if you want to add multimedia components to your Jetpack Compose project.

AWT component

The standard way to create a media player using the media player library component and container for the AWT component provided by Jetpack Compose SwingPanel.

Frame grabbing

Using a byte array of pixels as the key of the remember function will result in an exponential memory leak due to comparing by reference and creating a new key, which will result in an accumulation of unused values!

   remember(pixels) // don't do this!
   remember(pixels.contentHashCode()) // do this instead

A more flexible method that captures video frames as an array of bytes, converts to the required format, and then displays.

JavaFX

plugins {
    id("org.openjfx.javafxplugin") version "19"
}

javafx {
    version = "19"
    modules("javafx.media", "javafx.swing")
}
